This gaming PC has a built-in Xbox One or PS4 - Den of Geek UK

Here's an interesting piece of gaming news to come out of CES 2020: at the big tech conference in Las Vegas, the computer-making company Origin PC revealed a new gaming PC that comes with the console of your choice built-in. (As long as the console of your choice is either a PS4 Pro or an Xbox One S All-Digital.)

Dubbed the 'Big O', this gaming PC set-up for desktop-based players is a thing of beauty. It's also further proof that the barriers are starting to come down between different sorts of gamers. Seeing as there are incredible experiences to be had on PC, Xbox One, PS4 and/or Nintendo Switch these days, why shouldn't we start to see custom hybrid rigs that combine those worlds into one handy user experience?

Indeed, mashing together different gaming systems to make a unified experience seems to have been the main plan here. Kotaku reports that Origin PC originally planned to make a PC that includes all three major consoles, but ultimately the decision was made to create something a bit more affordable.

Affordable is a relative term, though, of course. The price of the Big O reportedly starts at $2500 USD, which translates as roughly £1910 GBP. For most of us, that is a lot of money to spend on anything. But it has to be said that the idea of buying a console and a PC in one fell swoop is pretty epic. It's a real two birds one stone situation.

The PC side of the Big O seems to quite impressive, as well, and you can customise the specs to suit your price range. You also get 24/7 support and the option to choose custom finishing touches and paintwork. You can read the full specs, and learn a lot more, on the official Origin PC website.
